2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: NOT a "loyalty oath" or pledge, or a "demand", just curious as to where we currently stand. [View all]Yurovsky
(2,064 posts)13. No how, no way...
I refuse to support a candidate who has willingly sold out to Goldman Sachs, WalMart, and ExxonMobil. Social and economic justice is non-negotiable. She has chosen who she wishes to represent, and it is clearly not me or people like me. This is on her, not me. I simply refuse to vote for someone who represents interests that are diametrically opposed to the values and interests of working class and poor Americans.
I will vote D down ticket, but unless HRC has an epiphany and reverses course WRT her corporate sponsors, I cannot in good conscience vote for her. I'm certainly not voting for Trump, but I consider her cut from the same cloth when it comes to economic policy. No thanks.

Not certain, as mentioned before, it's been harder and harder to say I will vote for her.

I consider myself a "conscientious objector" when it comes to this election.

"Not a loyalty oath" in the same way Hillary is "not an entitled corporate puppet"
